With regard to some big events in Heaven from his past life, Chu You still remembered some of it.
This included a female player, whose ID was ‘Luo River Bright Night.’
What was going on exactly?
It was said that when the first flight of players in the game reached level 40 and beyond, some organizations created some extra external chart rankings. Thanks to their strict and responsible attitude, the contents of these charts gradually became more accepted and recognized by players. There was not much exaggerated information involved, and the contents were persuasive.
Hence, a chart named Flowering Elegance was created in the Huaxia district; this chart ranked the attractiveness of some female gamers.
This chart was controversial, as the looks of the players could be edited. Although the range for editing was not that big, however, they were not authentic anyway. Alright, whatever it was, this chart was already out. The female players on this chart were indeed eye candy.
The system would do a thorough scan based on the facial features of the players initially, and those who got plastic surgery would all be returned back to their original features. Hence, those female players who appeared on this chart all had solid foundations.
This female player named Luo River Bright Night appeared on this chart, and her rank was not low either; she was ranked number 3.
If it was just this, then that was merely just admiring a pretty vase.
But this Luo River Bright Night female player also appeared on another chart, and this chart was particularly followed by people.
Because this chart was called “The top ten priests of Huaxia!”
When the chart was just published, the team behind the publishing of this chart did an intensive amount of work, and this could be said to be the most representative and the strictest. The characters on this chart were all evaluated and compared again and again based on their skills and awareness, before they were put on the chart.
That Luo River Bright Night actually appeared again on this chart, and she was number two.
The most important thing was, priests numbers one and three were both male players. You can also interpret it this way: this Luo River Bright Night was the number one god-level Wet Nurse amongst the Huaxia priests back then.
Male priests could only be addressed as nursing fathers, not wet nurses.
During that period, Luo River Bright Night was one of the very first batches of influential figures in the Heaven community in Huaxia district!
Hence, Luo River Bright Night became one of the figures every union fought to rope in. Her celebrity quality was unearthed, and her net worth was growing steadily.
However, at this moment, when every union started to search for this Luo River Bright Night person in real life, something sensational and heartbreaking happened in the Huaxia District.
Luo River Bright Night died from sudden cardiac arrest.
This caused a lot of players to deeply regret the loss of her. You have to know that the Luo River Bright Night back then was already the goddess figure to many gamers. Numerous players still could not forget her even in the later part of the game. They felt that if Luo River Bright Night was still able to appear in the later portion of the game, it might be the ranking chart just for priests. She might even be able to enter the top ranks on the official chart of the game.
…
At a cybercafe outside one of the universities of Binhai city, two girls sat in a corner. One was gaming, while the other girl at the side was watching her play.
They were playing a game that was struggling to continue operating, the ‘Formidable Alliance’.
The girl playing the game was extremely attractive, but it was just that she looked very cold. Even when it was the highlight of the game, her expression did not change much.
Her slender fingers were typing away non-stop on the keyboard, together with the exercising of the mouse. On the screen of the game, her character successfully killed an opponent.
“Lin Luoer, why go all out, you can’t earn money from this game anymore now,” Green leaf, who was sitting beside her, said.
Lin Luoer did not give any reply; her eyes were still glued to the screen. At this moment, the warlord that she was controlling appeared in the nick of time at the crucial spot, and gained a Combo Kill.
“Don’t be angry, but I must say with your looks, you have no idea how many guys you can wrap around your finger if you seek them out.”
Three combo kills! The warlord controlled by Lin Luoer was attacking his opponent at a rapid speed.
“Luoer, do you want me to introduce you to an uncle? He dotes on people a lot.”
Four combo kills! Under Lin Luoer’s control, the opponent players have nowhere to run.
“If you carry on like this, your mom will really…”
Five combo kills! There can only be one king to govern the country.
Lin Luoer looked coldly at her, and with this one gaze, Green Leaf shut up obediently.
The game had ended, and her rank was already the highest achievement. Opening up the page, she took a look at the match. It was completely empty inside, some were only left with the glorious videos of the former days.
“Which occupation in Heaven is sought after, you say?” Lin Luoer opened her mouth to ask at this moment.
“Err…I think it is the priest.”
Lin Luoer nodded her head. She had already selected the priest and she got up and left the seat. Then she turned around and looked at Green Leaf. “The gaming helmet that I bought with the money I borrowed from you, I’ll pay you through gaming currency. Thanks.” After finishing her words, she walked towards the main entrance.
A glint of pity flashed across Green Leaf’s eyes, and she lightly sighed and tagged along. The two students walked towards the school dormitory.
…
“You mean Lin Luoer’s family experienced a drastic change?” According to Chu You’s recollections, Lin Luoer came from a very well-to-do family. Why would she be leading such a cash-tight life?
At this moment, Chu You and his female classmate appeared in a cafe, and the two of them were sitting opposite each other chatting.
“Yes, do you know that her dad did something wrong?” The female classmate looked around all corners at this instant and whispered.
“Ah? But her dad is a high-level governmental officer…” As Chu You reached this part, he stopped talking; everything was clear.
“Not just that, her mother has cancer now, plus her relatives are messy too, haiz.” The female classmate took a glance at Chu You. “But Chu You, I noticed that you seem to have totally changed into a new person today.”
Upon hearing this sentence, Chu You couldn’t help but lean back. He laughed and said, “What do you mean? In what way have I changed?”
“A woman’s intuition.”
“What ‘woman’? How about you tell me, did I become bad, or even worse?”
The female classmate shook her head. “I can’t tell. Anyway, you changed, your temperament is different. Alright, that’s all I know about her.”
At this moment, the smile left her face, and her expression became firm. “We are all classmates, after all. Since you bought me a coffee regarding her matter, I think you ought to help her out a bit.”
Chu You nodded his head with a prudent look. Who would have thought of this? His own high school classmate of three years was actually the once influential figure of Heaven in his past life. Moreover, she was also the campus beauty. To be honest, Chu You found this to be more like a joke instead right now.
Thinking back on the cold and arrogant girl, Chu You shook his head internally. Never would he have thought that she would be so outstanding at playing games.
As for whether he should help? Of course, he had to help, for such an outstanding wet nurse in the future, if he managed to win her over under his command, with careful training, this would definitely be of great help to him in the future. This was as good as a sacred weapon.
Afterward, the two of them exchanged their game contacts and went their separate ways.
Not too long after, Chu You returned to his own mansion. He sat down and smoked a stick, then he entered the gaming station after that.
Chu You went online. This environment was still secluded like before, not a single player had set foot here yet.
Chu You saw that his State of Red Card had not worn off yet, so he continued to try promoting levels here. He had to reach level 5 by tonight no matter what.
Hence Chu You focused his attention on the extremely uninteresting process of killing monsters again.
At present, Chu You’s belief was still firm. Had it been him from his past life, he would have already gone offline or pulled a group of players along to kill for fun.
But now, Chu You continued to look for the next monster after he was done killing one, without stopping to rest.
Not too long later, his online buddy uploaded a notice. Chu You sat down. An idea flashed across his mind, and a telecommunication page opened.
System notice: Player Heart of Flying Fish has requested to add you as a friend. Accept request?
Chu You knew that this was the female classmate from before and immediately accepted the request.
He looked at his health again. Chu You got up and continued fighting the monsters.
At this moment, a message appeared on the computer, and Chu You answered the call while fighting the monsters.
“Wow, Master Chu, you’re already level 4, your promotion is so fast.” The female classmate gasped in surprise.
Chu You took a look at the telecommunication platform and saw that she was still at level 0. Shaking his head, he said, “Why are you still at level 0?”
“There are too many people here, and it is literally impossible to snatch a monster. Now I’m doing an errand mission, to get those measly experience points.”
“Then come to my area, I am at Firefly Village of Wangshan City.” Chu You wielded his sword with a stroke, and the Little Demon Pig let out a blood-curdling shriek and dropped to the floor. Looking at the corpse vanishing, Chu You once again heard the words of exclamation from the call.
“Go to where you’re at? I just looked at the route. I’d have to run for nine hours to reach your area. Goodness, I still want to sleep.” The female classmate was shocked.
“Sleep? You can play while sleeping.” Chu You did not understand.
“Come on, you really think everyone has a top-notch gaming station like you? We only have the cheapest ordinary gaming helmet headpiece, without any high-end functions.”
So that’s how it was. Suddenly, an idea flashed across Chu You’s mind.
The Lin Luoer from his past life…could she have died from a heart attack because she was gaming non-stop for a few days without sleeping? This was highly possible.
In his previous life, Chu You had heard of some players dying from playing the game in the news. This was because the most basic gaming helmet did not allow one to sleep while playing like Chu You’s did. This had caused a few players to fight strenuously for a few days and nights continuously, resulting in them dying while wearing the gaming helmet.
Generally speaking, even if it was the most basic gaming helmet, it would also remind players of their exhausted mental state, and forcefully log out. However, the gamers couldn’t fight against their gaming addiction. That was the second world, and some players had already treated it as their spiritual sustenance. After getting forcefully logged out, they would sign in again after one hour, and repeat this over and over again.
This ultimately triggered their sudden death without any prior warning.
“Haiz, I say, Chu You, your crush Lin Luoer is online by the way. Everyone else is offline; they must be sleeping.” The female classmate realized that Lin Luoer was her only friend left online.
“What crush? Do I have to have a crush on her just because she is pretty?” What sort of logic was this? Chu You was slightly gloomy. In his past life, he’d been an easy target for others to think crookedly of.
“Then do you add her, or do I get her to add you?” Seemed like the female classmate was trying to get Chu You to date Lin Luoer. According to the way she thought, this was the only way to get Chu You to help Lin Luoer genuinely, hence she phrased her words so ambiguously, to give Chu You strong hints to pick up.
“Get her to add me then.”
“Your ego is so big…,” the other party said in an enigmatic manner.
“Her impression of me is not so good, I might get rejected if I add her,” Chu You commented while searching for his next target.
“So you are aware of your limitations. Okay then, I’ll ask her to add you.”
Chu You did not know whether he should laugh or cry at this point. What was wrong with this?
After a while, the system notice rang out: Player Luo River Bright Night has requested to add you as a friend. Accept request?
Looking at that username, a complicated look flashed before Chu You’s face.
So this is what happened. You experienced a major misfortune which was why you wanted to become strong in the previous life?
